k country
dang. i gotta say, those mountains are gorgeous.
that was one sweet backpacking trip up in K(ananaskis) country.
we hit the Highwood pass and camped out by the Hill of Flowers, right close to the Lake of the Horns, just in case you are familiar with that territory...
It was fun though. this morning was -14 degrees. a nice frost covered ground, ice-pebbled tents and all that. shivering campers too. it was grand. when i get the pics from the guys who had cameras, ill find a cool place to put them.
one of the guys brought these poi. they are balls of kevlar on the end of wire. you spin them around your body and do cool stuff. then, you coat the kevlar in fuel and light them. we have some sweeet time lapse photos of balls of fire orbiting the guy. it was funny when he hit himself and set his stomach hair on fire. he's such a pyro.
and now i have a chem lab due on wednesday that needs to get done. welcome back to the real world eh? when you are hiking up a massive hill (the puts Boler Bump to shame, many times over) and there is a phenomenal view of snow strewn mountain peaks and a lake in a mountain bowl, it doesn't seem practical to have to go to school after getting home. but oh well. i hope you all had a nice thanksgiving weekend too.
cya.
Dan- That is VERY cool. I guess it's a little bit dangerous, but that's how trips to the great outdoors should be.
